| Matchup | Threat | Games | WR | Gold @ 15 | Gold Diff | Tips | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Aatrox  | Very Hard | 400 | 47% | -215 | -158 | A skill matchup. Start with W at level 1 to tank his first and second Q, then use your own W to win the trade. Try to dodge his longest-range Q by sidestepping. Use your E to grab him during his second Q. Play aggressive, but avoid his Q sweet spots. Use Ghost for all-ins when he's around 60% HP. If he's ahead, bait his abilities under your tower. Do not fight him if the wave is pushing to you, as he can freeze it. In the mid-game, use Stridebreaker and Ghost to close the gap and burst him down. In teamfights, use R to isolate him from your carry and finish him with E-W. | |
Skill Priority Q Knuckle Down Sett's next two attacks deal additional damage based off of the target's max health. Sett also gains Move Speed while moving towards enemy champions.  W Haymaker Sett passively stores damage he takes as Grit. On cast, Sett expends all stored Grit to gain a shield and punch an area, dealing true damage in the center and physical damage on the sides.  E Facebreaker Sett pulls in all enemies on opposite sides of him, dealing damage and stunning them. If enemies were only on one side, they are slowed instead of stunned. 46.48% WR 383 Matches Summoner Spells  51.91% WR 131 Matches Skill OrderQ Knuckle Down Sett's next two attacks deal additional damage based off of the target's max health.

 Renekton | Very Hard | 347 | 45% | -364 | -665 | This is a Renekton-favored matchup. The key is to survive his trades and play around his cooldowns. Start with W at level 1 and be aggressive since he has no fury. | |
 Jax | Very Hard | 334 | 49% | -222 | -465 | This is a skill matchup. Punch him. Use your E to stun him when he uses his E, then get out of his E stun radius. Use your Q and auto-attacks to out-trade him. Jax isn't a threat without his E. Respect his level 6 and his ultimate's damage; only all-in him when he's around 60% HP, not full health. Getting Stridebreaker makes the lane much easier. Make sure you use minions to guarantee an E stun for a W true damage hit. If behind, just push waves under your tower and avoid bad trades. | |
 Mordekaiser | Even | 310 | 52% | +104 | +283 | This is a skill matchup. Fight inside your minion wave to reduce his Q damage. Be aggressive early and use E to punish his attempts to CS. Hold onto your W until you can land an E stun to guarantee the true damage. A crucial part of this matchup is using your R to become unstoppable and CANCEL HIS ULTIMATE. The timing is key—watch his hand animation and listen for the sound cue. Once you have this down, you can kill him inside his Death Realm. In teamfights, you can R him into his backline, but if he ults you, make sure to use your E before W to land the true damage. | |
 Fiora | Very Hard | 274 | 46% | +116 | -738 | A tough matchup where mind games are key. Start with W at level 1 and trade aggressively. Position yourself to make it hard for her to hit your vitals. | |
 Shen | Easy | 273 | 52% | +648 | +1290 | A favorable matchup. You are stronger at level 1, so punch him. Use your E to pull him and get more autos in. Your W can block his empowered Q damage if you have Bone Plating. You out-trade him in extended fights. Once he's level 6, PING YOUR TEAMMATES when he leaves to ult. You can let him ult and take tower platings, or you can cancel his ult with your R if you time it right. You hard-win the side lane once you have Stridebreaker and Black Cleaver, so you can split push to counter his ultimate threat. In teamfights, use R on him to throw him into his teammates. | |
 Darius | Even | 263 | 55% | -66 | +209 | A popular skill matchup. Getting to level 2 first is crucial to winning the lane. If he starts Q, you can start E and try to dodge it. If he starts W, you can start W and trade aggressively. If he has 3 bleed stacks, back off immediately. Dodge his Q by walking into his inner circle or grabbing him with E. Your best trading pattern is E > AA > AA > QQ. At level 6, you both have insane kill pressure. When he is 60% HP, you can go for an all-in with E > AA > QQ > Ignite > R. In teamfights, R him to peel for your ADC or throw him into his own team. | |
